  1. Been having a bloody hard time with the new campagin compared to the first one and previous Arma campagins. Did you guys do anything to change the amount of damage the CSAT and AAF could take? As im having a stupidily hard time killing one rifleman yet they are making swiss cheese out of me. Ive actually had it where ive gone through a full 30 round magazine at a distance of less than 50m from the CSAT 6.5mm rifle and just watched as survived to then in turn fire one burst kill me. then ive been struggling to hit the broadside of a barn at 100 meters while they are scoring headshots on me from 300m+ while ives dropped the enemy skill down from 60 to 20. For the record when i fire, I'm always prone (because its the only way i can score a hit, standing and crouching never hit for me in this campagin. I'm not breathing heavily to stay that im exhusted. I had none of these issues with the Survive Campaign either
  2. First and formost, I will try to keep this a verbose as possible inorder to avoid any spoilers however chances are that some od the bugs im reporting will be spoilers. * The mission its self can cause a memory leak and produce an out of memory crash. Doesnt happen all the time, ive managed to complete the mission once with out a crash happening. * No way to tell CS Boomerang to attack. ( no option comes up in any of the raidio channels, thus making that objective come down to luck if the assault force happen to move in themselves. * This leads to another bug, CS boomerang seems to dissappear with in a certain time frame of not being ordered to attack. * using the Artillery support will only work once and after that you loose both the arty support AND starforce 21 even if starforce 21 was not shot down. These are the major bugsm with this mission that can cause it to be EXTREMELY frustrating to finish, though with time, effort and alot of use of the save/load feature i have been able to successfully finish the mission 2 times and found no bugs or broken scripts with the following two missions afterwards. Contray to the review put forth by PCgames.de, Mission Manhatten is not unplayable or impossible to complete, it just takes alot of effort and time to get completed.
  3. ahh the joys of unscripted AI, i had my attempt stopped because of too many casualties, but my second attempt i was going strong....until an RPG ( im not kidding) made contact with my face. but as they say, 3rd times the charm

    open Season.

    OA added a bootcamp mission to teach you how to use the ULB and the UAV, but put simply, in order to move the ULB, just open your map and left click on the map where you want the ULB to move to and it fly there on its own. though be careful where you send it, because if you lower it too much before moving it can crash into trees etc, and if its too high or you move too close to an enemey, they will shoot it out of the sky

    ARMA 2 OA 1.52 :Bugs

    Not sure if i should post it in this thread or in just post it in the offical missions forum, but when doing the campaign mission in the AH-64D (MISSION 5) Ive had alot of trouble trying to take out the AA pod in the left AA field. I send my ULB in and laze the pod, usually have 0.97 hit chance (1.0 being perfect). the hellfire hits the pod cleanly but does not destroy the pod or even injure the taki using it. however if i move around so that im to the west of the pod as opposed to the south, i can destroy the AA Pod. not even a hellfire within 20m of the pod is able to damage the occupant.
  6. i havent encounted any bugs in my 16hr play session i had yesterday. im using the sprocket version aswell which was 1.52. The crazy thing is that my preformance on takistan is even better than on Utes, though i havent tried Chenerus yet.

    it appears that something has happen with the shipping to australia and we dont get the boxed version until the 9th, which sucks. oh well time to by the game from sprocket as well use that version until my hard copy version arrives xD
  8. eh ill just do what i did with Arma 2... buy 2 copies....one from sprocket and then a retail version when EB gets them in

    ARMA 2 (OA) : DLC discussion thread

    its been said by a few others now, but i definately prefer the idea of going down to my local EB store and picking up a British Army pack along with an ADF pack, now i know there are quite a few mods out there that add those and many more, but i prefer offical addons due to the ease of use and installation. I still remember having to do the old mod juggling in OpFlash to see which mods were compatible with which etc. Plus after also buying VBS2 and using the ADF and British units from that, i just knw that they would be of extremely high quaility.
  10. im getting this trouble and to my amazement i am unable to get the CCC to turn off/disable Crossfire. I go down to the crossfire tab, uncheck it and then click the apply button and bam! it turns it right back on, even unchecking it and pressing OK does nothing as the moment i load up CCC it automatically turns crossfire back on. my specs are as follows: Alienware Area 51 i7 975 quad core 6gig ram 2x 2gig 5970s

    Lagushina won't do anything?

    the chopper probably got shot down.....it happens

    The informants: Manhattan

    might best that you load from an earlier spot, as because the mission is so huge and busy, its got many bugs, but not only that, because the missions are heavyily scripted like a CoD game theres an extremely high chance that Extraction chopper will get shot down if the main chedaki camp is close to it.

    Manhatten Bug List

    head back to base and grab the empty LAV-25 and use it to take out the t72 and bmp with its anti armour muntions (APFDS or something)
  14. i tried to go back to arma1 but i missed all the new features from A2 like crouched running and reloading on the move and SMAW and LAV-25 and BMP3 and BTR-90

    How to..........

    in the addon folder within Arma2 called missions.pbo iirc
  16. to capture the 3rd and f4th town i relied on a the normal BRDM-2 which was $750, basically i used the main gun for the light armoured vehicles and the pkt for inf and the UAZs. this was all done while getting to a nice long range position and just sniping them
  17. What social life..everyone knows that computer developers have no social life, just has how theres no girls on the internet :D

    Task "United we stand"

    if you dont kill him then there is no alliance between NAPA and the CDF and it basically becomes a sort of 3way war with Bluefor vs Opfor vs Insurgents. This inturn means theres a higher chance that the russians will be attacked thus drawing them into the battle..and well that would be very very very bad....Chedaki+Russian Backup > the CDF with lone razor team and Napa with poor grade Bmps, BRDMS and T&@s and Technicals
  19. ive noticed with the HEAA SMAW round ( 550mm pen) that one shot to side with it is enought to force the AI to abandon a T-72 and T-90 with 2 round needed to cause it to completely explode though the HEDP round with only 50mm pen cant cant even cause the AI to abandon a BTR-90 let alone a BRDM-2
  20. Manhatten is definately one of the best missions, however its extremely buggy though not unplayable as many people have completed it without cheating despite the bugs. However for some people, the endmission cheat is the only way they can continue in the campaign because they may not have the time nor luck nor the patience to deal with the bugs and CTDs and OOMs that occur in the mission. HAving said that, after seeing the mission in the ingame editor its very easy to see why its so buggy and with many of the other missions to... they are so complex to understand and follow.

    Task "United we stand"

    if you do kill prizak, then an alliance is formed between the CDF and NAPA ( they are friendly to each other and you and their ultimate gains will count towards yours

    Corrupt Savegame

    a couple of questions, is your save game from a previous version ( ie 1.01 beta or 1.00) if not did you install a language patch? if the answer is yes to any of them, then the save game will not work unless you go back to the version that the game was saved under. If the answer is no to both, then im guessing that you are unfortunately SOL and its best that you just press LSHIFT plus NUM- then type Endmission to skip the mission if you dont want to do it again. However bewarned that if you do that at the very start of the mission then the next mission will be effected as if you didnt help NAPA

    Manhattan 2

    you mean the chopper never got shot down? all this talk from the napa guys about sams and i took it to heart on my play throughs
  24. ive been enjoying A2 so much that even though the Utes map is really all i can play on that looks great and plays great, that i can not go back and play A1 or even VBS2 >< the added features in A2 such as crouched running and quicker spriting and shuffling speed along with reloading while moving and lack of the SMAW and scoped m16a4 and LAV-25 are just too easily missed : (
